Affairs at work

[HeyThatsNotMyName]

How common are affairs in the workplace?

Now in my early 30s and before the last fortnight, I thought workplace affairs was something that happened very rarely or just in the media (tv, films etc.) Now, after learning not one but four colleagues have been having affairs at work, I'm not so sure.

Was I being naive this whole time?

I've just started a job in a school and my predecessor was apparently asked to 'leave quietly' after having an affair with a member of support staff. Schools and police are particularly rife!

If there was as much workplace cheating going on as many here claim, why aren't you fronting up to your own indiscretions?

Because the added pressure of having 99% of Mumsnet rip people apart isn't needed?
